Quarry Books; $26.99

Aren’t there some days you just want to be inspired and dream? If that’s today, pick up Quilters, Their Quilts, Their Studios, Their Stories from Jo Packham and Where Women Create. Jo introduces you to more than 20 artisans who share their love of textile art and their distinctive talents and techniques. I loved the tour of the studio spaces and learning how the artists worked. I loved reading the favorite quotes of the artists. I loved the color and inspiration that popped out from each page. Most of the quilters also provided a block with instructions as an online extra. I can see picking this up from time to time to get a jolt of inspiration.
